Burkitt Lymphoma t(8;14) - FISH near me in Ahmedabad

Burkitt's Lymphoma t(8; 14) - FISH test facilitates the diagnosis of Burkitt lymphoma (BL) by using a sophisticated lab technique called FISH (Fluorescence in situ Hybridization) that detects specific genetic changes within cells. Burkitt's lymphoma is an aggressive type of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. This cancer starts in immune cells called B- lymphocytes or B-cells and can manifest itself quickly. The FISH t(8;14) test is a specialized test that uses fluorescent probes to detect the translocation (interchange in position) of genetic material between chromosomes 8 and 14. This translocation involves the movement of genetic material between these chromosomes and plays a major role in the unregulated growth of B-cells, leading to lymphoma. t(8;14) is the hallmark of Burkitt's lymphoma and is, therefore, used in its diagnosis.
